In Indian driving conditions, is the Verna's ADAS system actually useful?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
A big talking point has been the inclusion of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the new Hyundai Verna. ADAS features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, lane keep assist and Automatic Emergency braking are growing part of the developed markets but their relevance and extent of benefits in Indian driving conditions are deliberated. India’s roads are different with unpredictable traffic patterns, frequent lane violations, different types of vehicles and pedestrians. Others say these systems are not yet sophisticated enough to cope with the chaos of Indian roads and, worse, could be dangerous if overly relied upon. Some are even seeing ADAS as a welcome safety addition, even if it’s not perfect. It also discusses whether the extra cost of these features is justified if they are limited in Indian conditions.

But the ADAS works well enough, I’m not sure the extra cost is worth it. I would rather have a lower spec Verna and save some money.

It's useful, but I'm concerned that some drivers will rely on it a little too much. It should be seen as a guide, not to be a replacement for attentive driving.

Initially I was skeptical, but the automatic emergency braking has caught me out a couple of times where it has frustratedly stamped on the brakes to stop me hitting the suddenly stopped vehicle in front.

I think that's a step in the right direction. It sure isn't perfect for Indian conditions but it'll get better over time. We have to start somewhere.

It's a mixed bag. Adaptive cruise control is great on expressways but lane keep assist is pretty useless in city traffic.

To me, ADAS in India feels like a gimmick. These systems simply don’t work reliably on our roads. I would rather pay less for a car without it.

The ADAS has proven to be surprisingly useful, particularly on highways. It's not perfect but it certainly cuts down on fatigue on long drives.
